Throughout most of Philip Rivers’ NFL career, the guy who has been snapping him the football at center has been veteran Nick Hardwick, who came into the league with Rivers in 2004. That won’t be the case this season, though, as Hardwick was placed on injured reserve earlier this week with a neck injury, one that may possibly end his career.
Rivers decided to honor Hardwick by wearing his number decals on his helmet during Sunday’s game against the Seahawks in San Diego. Pretty nice gesture by Phil.
